The developments of silicon technologies reduce the transistor size deep into the nano-scale, and radically transform the process technologies through the integration of a large number of new materials. In order to master the design technologies for achieving competitive systems on chip (SoC) and systems in package (SiP) with increasing functionality, performance and complexity, without compromising on reliability, energy consumption and costs of such systems it is necessary to develop new design and architecture paradigms.

The research adresses the technological shortcomings of nanoelectronics such as unreliable device behaviour, dispersion of circuit parameters, parasitic/interconnect effects, and leakage currents.

The design activities include analogue and mixed signal circuits and architectures, smart power and low power designs with special focus on biomedical applications.
